Rainbow of Wishes
Participatory artwork project involving a school from each of the 42 Commonwealth countries and 12 schools in the UK. The schools received project boxes with pre-designed coloured labels for the children to draw and write their wishes on and disposable cameras so that they could take phogtographs of themselves, their school and the neighbourhood. These were returned addressed to HM the Queen and the wishes attached to a series of huge arches to create the Rainbow.
